Our HVAC Maintenance Services

Regular HVAC maintenance involves a series of tasks designed to keep your system running efficiently. Here’s what’s included in our comprehensive maintenance service:

System Inspection
We thoroughly inspect your HVAC system to identify any wear and tear, leaks, or potential issues. Early detection of problems can prevent costly repairs down the road.
Cleaning and Airflow Optimization
We clean important components of your system, such as filters, condenser coils, and evaporator coils, to maintain proper airflow and improve efficiency. A clean system not only runs better but also helps improve indoor air quality.
Refrigerant Check
Our technicians check the refrigerant levels to ensure they are properly charged. Low refrigerant levels can reduce your system’s efficiency and lead to system failure.
Thermostat Calibration
We calibrate your thermostat to ensure it’s accurately reading the temperature and maintaining your desired comfort level. This helps prevent unnecessary energy consumption and reduces your utility bills.
Lubrication and Moving Parts Check
We lubricate moving parts such as fans and motors to reduce friction and wear. Proper lubrication helps prevent breakdowns and prolongs the lifespan of your HVAC system.
System Performance Testing
After completing the maintenance tasks, we test the system’s performance to ensure it’s heating or cooling your home effectively. We monitor temperature consistency, airflow, and overall system operation.
Ductwork Inspection
We inspect your ductwork for any signs of damage or leaks, ensuring that air is being delivered efficiently to every room. Poor ductwork can reduce system efficiency and lead to higher energy costs.

Benefits of Regular HVAC Maintenance

Increased Efficiency: A well-maintained HVAC system runs more efficiently, which means it uses less energy and costs less to operate.
Fewer Repairs: Regular maintenance can help prevent sudden breakdowns and unexpected repairs. Catching problems early reduces the chances of emergency repairs and extends the life of your system.
Improved Comfort: Routine maintenance ensures that your HVAC system provides consistent temperature control, improving comfort in every season.
Better Indoor Air Quality: Regular cleaning of filters and ducts helps remove dust, dirt, and allergens, leading to cleaner air and a healthier living environment.

FAQs

We get a lot of questions every day from our customers. We have collected the ones that pop up most frequently, below.

If you can't find what you are looking for, reach out to us and we would love to answer your questions.

Why should I choose R & C Heating and Air for my services?

We are a small, family-owned business that stands behind our work and gives excellent customer service. We take the time to evaluate the entire system to ensure that it is working most efficiently and that it is maximizing its airflow. Sometimes a little tweak can make a large impact. Since we are a small company, we can give more personalized service. We have over 25 years of experience in working with residential home customers. We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service, workmanship and work ethic. We do not upsell and we are trustworthy.

What are the advantages to convert from a traditional gas/electric system to a heat pump system (all electric system)?

The advantages of switching to a Heat Pump System are energy efficiency, more gradual air distribution, environmentally friendly, quieter and savings with rebates/tax credits. Also, we live in an area where we have mild winters and hot summers, so heat pumps are very efficient for California weather because they work with technology that moves air instead of creating it like traditional combustion systems and air conditioners.

What is the most reliable HVAC unit brand?

Brand recommendations are based on the customers preferences and budget. Nowadays a lot of the different brands share the same exact parts (Copeland Compressors, Honeywell Relays, Electrical Parts, Contactors, Control Boards, etc.). The bottom line is that things are not made like they were 30 years ago with any of the brands.

If I replace my HVAC system will my new unit run all the time like my current one?

No, it will not. New ECM motors and variable speed motors are more efficient than traditional PSC motors (constant torque). They adjust better to the temperature demands in the house. Sizing the unit appropriately to the size of the home will also help if the unit is undersized or oversized.

Why does my unit makes noise when the unit is within the living space, i.e., closet, etc.?

Traditional units tend to make more noise. New ECM motors and variable speed motors are much quieter and run better than traditional motors.

Why do some parts of the house take longer than others to heat or cool; or why isn’t one room getting air or why it doesn’t heat or cool like the rest of the house?

Conventional systems (combustion) combined without an adequate thermostat location tends to cool or heat some areas faster than others. Heat pump systems are more gradual and tend to distribute the air more evenly avoiding puddles of air. Jump ducts help to solve this problem and evaluating your return size area and location.

How do I save on my utility bill?

Savings are always tied to usage. The trick is to be smart with usage. Using a smart thermostat helps with this. Trying to maintain a more consistent temperature in your home will save you energy. During extreme weather if you turn your system off while you are not home, then when you come home and turn it on, it will run for a long time to catch up. Oftentimes this coincides with the most costly energy usage times of the day.
